We had a very fun and comfy stay on this truly unique island. Be ready for rustic and funky fun! The kitchen had everything we needed. Great gas grill. The screened in porch was one of our fav places to sit. We had a great time going back and forth between the sunrise and sunset beaches. We are so excited for our next opportunity to stay here.

Unique stay with some tradeoffs
Unique stay with some tradeoffs
We had the best weekend on this private island! But there were a few tradeoffs to renting such a unique property. The boat launch had very limited hours, so we had some issues with getting out boat in the water. Also, make sure you bring plenty of jugs of water with you since the water on the island is not good to drink. Additionally, there is no place to dock your own boat that is not on the island, which causes some issues for getting off the island to go to the store. So there were a few hiccups, but we still loved our stay and would consider returning!

Wonderful time on the Island.
Wonderful time on the Island.
Great time spent with family. We were surprised to find a huge fridge. The 1920’s property is charming , with a lovely fireplace. The huge porch is amazing, even when it rained we still had a great time.

This place is awesome plain and simple. Beautiful views, every amenity you could ask for, owners are super nice. We didn’t even have a boat but wasn’t an issue at all as they had cayaks, a paddle boat, paddle board, and tons of tubes to float around the island on. Probably the hottest fishing spot on the lake is right off this islands dock as well. Everything I could’ve hoped for and more. Would have given it 6 stars if I could.

Having an island of several acres to yourself is a great way to spend time with close family. Fishing from the shore or boat produced bluegill, crappie and large mouth bass. The property is older so dont expect a fully renovated cabin. The screened in porch is huge. There was no air-conditioning, but the canopy of trees and the breeze that comes from being in the middle of a lake helped keep things cool even when in the 90s. For those who need their own bathroom, this may not be for you. You access the full bath through one of 2 bedrooms. There is also a toilet room just outside and a shower located just off the screened in porch. No tv, no wifi, and you're in the middle of nowhere so you may or may not have a cell signal. But thats not why youre going to vacation on an island isolated from the rest of the world. We will likely stay here again.
